IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTERS GALLEYS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 201,819, dated March 26, 1378; application filed March 4, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN W. MUNDAY, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Printers Galleys, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the galley entire. Fig. '2 is a plan of a corner. Figs. 3 and 4 are sections, respectively, on the dotted lines as w and y y of Fig. 2.

In the said drawings, A is the bottom plate of the galley, made of metal, usually sheetbrass. B B B are the Wooden side and end ledges or rails. O G (l are the metal facingstrips, placed adjacent to the rails, so that a smooth metal surface is presented to the type at all points where they touch the galley. The wooden rails are secured to the metal bottom by screws a, which pass up from beneath. The facing-strips O are secured directly to the bottom plate by solder, preferably placed in the outside angle as at c. v

The result of this construction is, that the warping or shrinking of the wooden ledges does not affect the truth or alignment of the facing-strips, which are secured directly to the bottom. Moreover, the solder closes the joint between the facing-strips and bottom plate, preventing moisture from the type from rotting the Wood.

Sometimes I add a strengthening-band of metal, D, across the head-ledge, fastened by screws into the wood, but not connected to the metal facing-strips.

I- am aware that galleys have been made JOHN W. MUN DAY.
